I need to know the word in Arabic for “schtick”. I have a couple of sources, each of which give me different words or phrases. Can someone here give me a good word or phrase to use, and the literal translation of that word or phrase? I also need the transliteration as well as written in Arabic, so I can pronounce it as well as write it in a fancy font. Thank you!
